A method and implementing computer system is provided in which a network user may invoke a print selection mode to quickly identify and queue-up web pages for printing in one continuous batch process. The print selection methodology displays a plurality of selections from which a user may select for the requested print operation. In one example, a user is able to select from a listing of only the hyperlinks available on a target page for subsequent print selection.
Description
That the application and on September 25th, 1997 submit to, as to transfer the possession of the application assignee, title is relevant for the common pending application US S/N08/937452 of " the skeleton webpage retrieval mode that is used for the Web navigation ", and this application is the list of references of this paper.
Relate generally to information handling system of the present invention, and relate more specifically to a kind of method and enforcement that realizes more effective document management technologies is used to select and prints the document that can obtain from network.
Along with the surge of computer systems and networks computer system, the message reference time becomes more crucial.Owing to multiple reason, though equipment constantly upgrading and technology constantly develop, access time of information database is had the trend of increase.For nearly all this trend of database access that relates to telecommunications link is significantly, and it is particularly significant particularly wherein providing this trend of user of the application of a large amount of figures for internet and the increasing user of web app.
In internet or " WWW " network, the user can specify one he think the network address or the target web of " going ".This user enters selected site then, and can show this target web or site homepage on this user's display screen.Usually, have the page object group of a large amount of graphical content or or even very largely only could be installed on user's the terminal under the quilt for a long relatively time cycle of page or leaf group needs of text.As yet not during the display-object page, many network channels may " refuse to budge in " to the retrieval of webpage of being asked and information with to the transmission of user terminal.This process is slow to the user not only, and has fettered network to a certain extent, and other users' of the network that slows down identical process.
In addition, wish to print under the situation of a plurality of Web webpages the user from a plurality of sites, the user must show that he wishes each Web webpage of printing, and this user typically for example must click File Options with Genius mouse and click " printing " option then submenu from page screen, also will specify printer afterwards to make one's options.After finishing printing, the user then typically can enter another site or the Web webpage that he wishes to visit and may print, perhaps this user may click the hyperlink that shows on the current page in order to follow the trail of a public theme, has in " following one deck " of quoting the site of common direction to redirect to current page.When following " hyperlink " tracking, the user typically also must move page by page and must wait for from the Web server downloading page before turning to by another print protocol.
When certain interviewed webpage did not present information expection or that seek, the user then must specify another destination address that will visit.And as top mentioned, when the webpage that is retrieved for example contained a large amount of colours and complex figure or a large amount of audio file, this retrieving needed the long relatively time.This situation occurs and be because and only have text to show to compare to export and need lot of data and parameter for regulation polychrome graphics display or audio frequency.When the several different webpage that will print from several different sites, visit different sites and in the next site of visit and download from a site before calling print protocol once more can many times of loss.In addition, this process is not only the slow process that the user goes through, and this process is also owing to unnecessarily fettered the whole network that might be slowed down by the network channel that other network users use.Shortcoming when millions of users use network simultaneously in this search or access protocal and the Web printed netpage is more obvious.
In addition, printing HTML (HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)) document usually is trouble, because this document comprises the link with other document.In current great majority were used, target web contained " link " with other webpage, these other webpages on aspect certain with target web or relevant with the theme of target web.These " links " use the group profile of some words typically, and it describes " link " webpage for visit usually.Sometimes these links are called " hyperlink " and the content that they presented is called " hypertext ".Usually show hyperlink with boldface type and underscore, and may be with different color demonstrations, thus the user easily on the positioning webpage in the link that can fill out text on it under other situation.By simply the indication device such as Genius mouse being moved to facing to a selection load button of now using on screen area and " click " Genius mouse that is showing " hyperlink " in wherein " hypertext ", the user can directly turn in the shown some pages that linked that go out.
When although the user at every turn wishes to move on the new page, said method has been accelerated search to reposition in aspectant key entry mode to a certain extent, and this process is still slow relatively, especially when needs printing Web webpage.In case select and " click " hyperlink, will retrieve whole webpage, comprise that all figures wherein describe in detail with text and the required parameter relevant with figure.In many cases, the user can determine from title or hyperlink descriptor whether he wants to print the webpage of being quoted.At the Web homepage is that the user does not need to print all chapters and sections of this book usually in the example of contents table of each chapter title of listing a book, but he can need to print those chapters and sections by watching this contents table to determine.When adopting prior art, the user must click the chapters and sections of appointment and once download chapters and sections in order, and the chapters and sections of each download are fulfiled print protocol, sometimes even will fulfil print protocol page by page, and before the next chapter that visit will be printed, turn back on this contents table.
In addition, under existing technology, the person of foundation of Web webpage is necessary for whole book and sets up a comprehensive document, so that the user who prints this book is provided convenience.Some nearest software products allow the user to collect several documents in a type-basket, and then print together.But the user still must get every part of document and then send amended print command from Web.In addition, this process is still time synchronous and that waste the user and user's bandwidth.
Thereby, need the network system of a kind of improved technology and enforcement, with the more effective search that realizes being used to printing network documentation and printing technique and on carrying out, can reduce needed network service time and bandwidth.
The computer system of a kind of method and enforcement is provided, and the network user can call a kind of printing selection mode therein, so that determine apace and be arranged in the Web webpage of printing in the one-time continuous batch processing.This printing system of selection shows that multiple user can be from wherein selecting of overall importance or the independence parameter for the printing of its request.In a kind of example, select the user for printing in succession and can only in certain target pages, select the available list of hyperlinks.The user can determine and preserve the page of each page selected and each hyperlink of selecting apace, is deep in the lower floor of appointment so that print by selected print parameters, and then starts the asynchronous printing process once for all pages of selecting.
Can obtain better understanding of the present invention when studying the detailed description of following preferred forms together with following accompanying drawing, accompanying drawing is:

With reference to Fig. 1, the whole bag of tricks of Tao Luning can be implemented in typically comprising the computer system 101 of a workstation or a personal computer herein.Usually, the computer system of enforcement can comprise a plurality of processors under the multiple bus system in the network of being made up of similar system.Yet, because realizing workstation of the present invention or computer system 101 in exemplary embodiment is extensively known technically, and by those skilled in the art extensively known electronic unit and circuit form, circuit details outside shown in Fig. 1 is not determined to the degree outside research institute's need particularly, so that understand and know from experience basic concept of the present invention and principle of the present invention is not caused puzzled or chaotic.
In Fig. 1, this computer system comprises processor parts 103, and these parts typically are arranged to install other parts and the subsystem of a processor circuit and computer system 101.Computer system 101 also comprises a monitor component 105, a keyboard 107 and a Genius mouse or gives directions device 109, they all and shown in the computer system interconnection.A connector 111 also is shown among the figure, and it is arranged to be used for connecting a modulator-demodular unit and a communication line (a for example telephone wire in this example) in this computer system.The present invention also can realize in cellular system, does not need connector 111 in this case.
Several critical pieces of system 101 shown in Figure 2.Processor circuit 201 is connected with system bus 203, and system bus can be any host system bus.Note that disposal route disclosed herein can be applicable to multiple different bus and/or network configuration.Cache 205 and system's memory unit also are connected to bus 203.Modulator-demodular unit 209 is arranged to be connected 210 by connector 111 (Fig. 1) with communication line such as telephone wire.In this example, modulator-demodular unit 209 optionally allows computer system 101 to set up communication linkage and start and the communicating by letter of other computer system, network or database server.
System bus is also by input interface circuit 211 and keyboard 213 and Genius mouse or give directions device 215 to be connected.Bus 203 also is connected with network interface subsystem 217 and floppy drive 219.The subsystem of video 220 that can comprise graphics subsystem is connected with display unit 221.The memory unit 218 of machine also is coupled with bus 203 as can comprising firmly.Floppy drive provides a kind of and can be encased in various floppy disk programs in the Winchester disk drive or the means of directly being visited, and optionally carries out for computer system 101.As everyone knows, can be from the machine-readable program floppy disk that is comprising the application software of representing by the magnetic mark on the floppy disk of floppy disk, and optionally operational computations machine system to read these magnetic marks and creation facilities program (CFP) signal.Optionally make these program singals effective, thus make computer system present on the screen of display unit show and according to floppy disk on the function flow response user input of application program.
When operation access to the Internet program or browser program on computer system 101, this access program is typically stored in the memory unit 218, and this access program partly or wholly selectively or automatically is encased in the system storage when system's initial power-up or when later the user needs.Browser optionally is operable to visit and carries out a Selection of Net Points program, and is such as described in this article, itself or this Selection of Net Points program that directly comes from a floppy disk in the floppy drive 219 or directly come from the Winchester disk drive 218 storage.When certain program of operation, can be encased in the part of program or whole procedure in system storage 207 and/or the system's cache 205.Depend on concrete program design, system can store the information obtained in any database from memory unit 218, cache 205, system storage 207 or the direct information that obtains of the floppy disk from floppy drive 219.Suppose user's start-up system, and for example move a browser program on one's own initiative, then on display unit 221, show a series of screen to the user.Typically, each screen has one or more users' of confession selection to navigate in this program.Usually, the user utilizes keyboard 213 or Genius mouse or gives directions device 213 to select on indicator screen.In Internet Operation System, user's selection is defined as this user and will " turns to the there ", i.e. that " site " or " Web webpage ", and communication link or the path of also determining to arrive selected site in some cases.
Fig. 3 represents the exemplary program screen display 301 under the Internet operation dialogue.Browser screen typically comprises a mode hurdle 303, the selectable several different modes of its explicit user, and for example " file " selection 308 and " bookmark " select 304.May show that another hurdle 305 is promptly moving under the network application to help the user between each document, each site or each page.Address or " position " option 307 allow the user to key in and show the name of interconnected network address that will visit or that just visiting.Other fast access button can be realized so that visit other selected network service and/or network subroutine apace on screen, such as " what is new " or " web search ".Usually, by with Genius mouse 215, indicator screen on visual cursor or relevant " click " method of indicator marker can select any project that illustrates.For example, can stop immediately from the remote node data download during the transmission by the mouse button that points to " stopping " button and hit down appointment.Similarly, can use " rollback " and " forward " button to turn back to a screen display respectively or be transferred to next screen display.
In the example of Fig. 3, it is to illustrate with " Multichapterbook, com " that " position " or uniform resource locator (URL) are specified.This of exemplary Web web displaying has the books title of " contents table ", and this contents table is listed each chapter of this book under the hyperlink form.Underscore is typically represented and have to " hyperlink " with boldface type, and show for ease of discerning the eye-catching color of common usefulness.Hyperlink typically comprises describing word in groups, when the user selects with pointed and click, visit is linked the webpage and the site of appointment by this.Access program that selected site is conducted interviews of hyperlink excitation, this with the page on only to represent that text does not have a plaintext of any function different.By utilizing hyperlink, the user can determine interested possibility site and clickable hyperlinks relatively soon, thereby visits this site from current page immediately.Typically, if a user wants to print a chapter, the user should click selected hyperlink, and screen can show this Zhang Zhengwen of this book and also can comprise other hypertext and figure, in addition even may comprise selective video and/or audio-frequency unit.This user can select " file " mode and select " printing " option to print selected chapters and sections more then.If this user wishes to print other chapter, the user should for example turn back to " contents table " page or leaf by clicking " rollback ", and the chapter selecting then to print waits the selected webpage that has relational graph and hyperlink to be retrieved, then once more by " file/printing " agreement.
Yet, shown in example in, increased " print a select " function button 311.By this additional function, the user can utilize cursor or pointer 313 to point to " print and select " button and click to call this paper illustrated batch selection and print processing.Although note that this example shows in the subroutine hurdle from the Web page enters " print and select " subroutine, this inlet can be designed to be arranged in any other screen or be positioned on any screen position easily.For example, common pending application application above-mentioned " the skeleton webpage retrieval mode that is used for the Web navigation " discloses a kind of method, to set up and show that " the skeleton page " of the hyperlink of quoting also can be deep in the selectable reference level from the webpage of appointment.Should also can be designed to show by " print select " button as the part of " the skeleton page " quoted, be used to select for print by the page of hyperlink.In addition, when selecting " to print and to select " button, to the stop using routine of appointed hyperlink of program is carried out, thus the user can certain hyperlink be chosen as to print and " print and select " session at this and never call and do not show the page that this hyperlink is quoted.
Fig. 4 expresses response the excitation of " print and select " function button 311 is selected screen 403 to the exemplary printing that the user shows.The top of menu in this example is a function selecting district 405, for the user it is printed the selection that requires to do ground floor.As shown, the user can stipulate level 409, can remove to assemble hyperlink and/or the Web webpage that supplies printing in this layer program.The user also can select 411 to select only to print the current page by clicking " printing current page ".The user also can select " printing the page (by user's regulation) of appointment " or click " selection of printing ' in addition ' " button 415.When the user clicked the selection 415 of ' in addition ', program was with all hyperlink except the hyperlink that those are selected on the printer page.When the user wished to print on the hyperlink page the most of entity except that a part, this was a kind of useful function.
When making " printing current page " when selecting, program will directly turn to the page print subroutine and turn back on as shown in Figure 3 the last page 301.To enter into the selection 409 of " printing to that layer ", but on screen, still can keep " print and select " to show.In the time of one in user's selection " selection of printing appointment " button 413 or " printing the selection of ' in addition ' " button 415, program will show popup menu 417, to allow the user to make more " overall situation is selected ", promptly may be used on the selection on selected all documents that will print.Can make the selection of " omitting figure ", thereby do not comprise may the figure relevant with wanting printer page for all documents of selecting for printing.Overall situation choice menus 417 also may comprise a kind ofly all is appointed as the selection that will print to all chapters and sections on this page.This function for example can be selected to obtain starting by clicking " execution " before listed chapters and sections are made any independent selection.
Can make another kind of the selection and " preserve to print and select ", this selection meeting is automatically quoting after being provided with in a print command and document storing to a file.When the user when menu 417 is selected " preserve to print and select " option, another can occur and eject input field and specify a name to permit a user to this predetermined print job file.Then the user turns to another site and preserves these print file so that increase more more options from other webpage.When hyperlink that the user prepares to determine to be printed, the user clicks from menu 417 hypertext " is done selection ".After this action, the user can click in the tabulation him and wish each chapter of printing, perhaps if before selected button 415 to click the chapters and sections that all will print except that these.A kind of exemplary selection approach is a zone that allows on the regulation screen, for example rectangle, square, garden or polygon etc., and indicate the number of plies that provides in all hyperlink in this border (for example 431) and each link all will be printed downwards.Can stipulate this zone by dilatory Genius mouse or by alternate manner.For example the user can with pointer 419 point to a certain or certain Chosen Point as putting 427, and the Genius mouse pointer " be pulled to " a little 429 with in succession project of selection (for example within the frame 431 every) or one group of project or chapters and sections for printing.Another kind of option is to go up bullet " item by item " menu 421, and this menu allows can be defined as when the user is each to select one the layer of every assembling, and its another kind may be to serve as that the global pattern that the basis changes on the menu 417 is selected with " file one by one " from menu 421.Other included selection also allows the single change overall situation to select in the submenu 421.When the user finishes the selection processing and wishes to set about print job, the user will click " carry out to print and the select " button on the overall menu 417, the program comprehensive various selections of meeting and each instruction, start continuous and asynchronous printing, to print all selected documents once by the form that chooses.
The example of Fig. 5 helps to explain dark " layer " of document, and it is used for assembling the hyperlink that occurs on the webpage with the hyperlink form.This technology of quoting illustrates tree, and the skeleton page or list of hyperlinks subroutine are navigated to the assembling of the skeleton page or list of hyperlinks by this tree.From can comprising the target pages of two hyperlink 503 and 505, if only specify retrieval one deck, program will be from the page 507 assembling hyperlink 509 and 511 and from the page 513 assembling hyperlink 515 and 517.If the user is appointed as hyperlink layer sign to numeral " 2 ", program can loopback be the hyperlink of listing in the page 519,521,523 and 525 in following one deck page then.Hyperlink is also can visiting easily from the server site to be used for assembling and to show list of hyperlinks of clearly stipulating.For example, in HTML,, can from the source code listing of the source code that is used for setting up the Web webpage, determine hyperlink because hyperlink is with sign " href " mark.Can be by " SOURCE (source) " that " VIEW (watching) " on the webpage clicking menu also then clicked on the submenu from the source code listing that the server site obtains, observing this sign." href " sign indicating number section of setting up hyperlink on webpage can also be used to setting up list of hyperlinks, and the user can select the page that will print from this tabulation.
Fig. 6 is a process flow diagram, represents several optional selection in the network method of the present disclosure.When button 311 " is printed and selected " in excitation (601), show " printing choice menus " 403 (603).Select (605), the procedure turn routine (607) of sealing immediately if make " printing current page ".In contrast, if to selecting one of in the selection of appointment " print " (609) or " printing the selection of ' in addition ' " (611), can make program preserve each selection (613) and turn to the popup menu 417 (615) that is used for " overall situation is selected ".
Fig. 7 is a process flow diagram, represents the example operation order of the selection part of this program.When selective printing from master menu 403 one of was selected in 413 or 415, " overall situation is selected " of start-up routine be (701) and show overall choice menus (703) partly.From this point, the user can click any in four kinds of selections, that is, and and " preserve to print and select " 727, " making a choice " 709, " carry out to print and select " 733 or " overall situation is omitted figure " 705.When excitation " preserves to print and select " 727, preserve selection (729) and the program made and turn back to master menu (731).When making " overall situation is omitted figure " selection (705), program is preserved and is selected (707) also to turn back to overall choice menus 417.When on 709, clicking " making a choice " hypertext, in case when finishing selection by pointing to and click certain item listed or chapter, this selection in this example will be enhanced brightness (712), and show that " by every chapter ground " popup menu (713) in terms by terms makes a choice to allow the user.Alternatively, may allow the user before this (not shown) make the selection that whether has this " in terms by terms " ejection function.
In " by chapter ground " popup menu 421, if the user does not wish to specify more the concrete property (for example whether " printing level " or user wish to change the overall situation selection of relevant " figure ") of selected chapters and sections, the user can set about making another selection (714) immediately after making a selection.If before the concrete parameter of selecting relevant chapters and sections, make other selection (714), program will be preserved (715) predetermined default parameter, close this " by chapter ground " menu (making this menu rely on the chapter of last selection at least), and turn back to the brightness (712) of next selection that enhancing makes.If " by chapter ground " submenu is made (716) such as specifying assembly layer or omit selection the figure from the item that will print, then preserves these selections (717), closes seal menu (718) and judge whether from overall choice menus, did " carry out and print selection " (719)." carried out to print and select " if once click, program can be gone to " obtain current with the selected document of preserving " (735) and be set about carrying out asynchronous printing (737) according to selected parameter and instruction, then this EOP (end of program) (739).If do not click " execution ", program turns back to " demonstration " overall choice menus (703) and waits for next step each instruction.
A kind of tabulation that can realize in the multiple possible pseudo-code listing of the present invention is shown below.
